How do you justify a few months of employment gap ? I did few certifications to be on track but seems difficult. Pls provide your suggestions.

These days recruiters make sure you regret the employment gap you took because of personal family emergencies by either stating that you were not having hands-on experience during your gap or by making an offer way below the last salary you were taking home.

Poorvi it really infuriates me that you should justify an employment gap. There are a million and one reasons why a gap might exist. My suggestion is to be honest and if they do not like it then it is a recruiter/company you definitely do not want to work with/for.

I couldn't agree more. It's your career and therefore your decision as to when and where you work.
